Custom fields conditions​

• Only Administrators can create and configure custom fields.
• Custom fields are project-specific and apply only to the object type for which they have been defined.
• Custom field defined for objects synchronized from 3rd party applications are not added to Test Manager. For example, if you have synchronized a Jira requirement for which you had defined a custom field, you will not see an entry in the Details tab of your object, in Test Manager.
• Custom field names must be unique and are limited to 20 characters.
• Custom fields are applied to existing and newly created objects.
• Deleted custom fields are still applied to your existing objects. The value is set to free-form text and it does not retain any previously defined value. Deleting the value flags the custom field with an asterisk symbol.
